Mechanical Engineer

This Mechanical Engineer role focuses on the design, development, and continuous improvement of advanced refrigeration and cold storage products, with an emphasis on ultra-low temperature systems used in critical laboratory and scientific applications. You will lead mechanical system development from concept through testing, validation, and product launch, working closely with cross-functional engineering teams to optimize performance, reliability, and manufacturability across global product platforms.

• Design and develop mechanical systems for refrigeration and cold storage equipment, including ultra-low temperature applications.
• Create detailed specifications for components, subsystems, and complete system performance to meet product and regulatory requirements.
• Develop and execute test plans to validate product performance, reliability, and safety under a variety of operating conditions.
• Perform engineering analysis using CAD and simulation tools, including FEA, to support design decisions and optimize mechanical designs.
• Conduct design trade studies and performance optimization initiatives to improve efficiency, reliability, and cost-effectiveness.
• Partner closely with electrical, controls, manufacturing, and quality teams throughout the product development lifecycle.
• Support design for manufacturing (DFM) and design for assembly (DFA) initiatives to ensure robust, scalable production.
• Analyze test data and field feedback, then implement design improvements based on engineering findings and continuous improvement principles.
• Ensure compliance with applicable industry standards, regulatory requirements, and certification criteria for refrigeration and cold storage products.
• Maintain accurate technical documentation, design records, and traceability throughout the development and release process.
• Participate in continuous improvement and technology development initiatives related to advanced thermal systems and product performance.
• Support products across multiple manufacturing locations, providing engineering guidance and resolving technical issues as needed.
• Collaborate in a fast-paced product development environment, managing multiple projects and priorities while meeting schedule and quality goals.

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
• 5+ years of mechanical engineering experience, preferably in refrigeration, HVAC, or related mechanical systems.
• Hands-on experience designing mechanical systems for refrigeration and cold storage equipment.
• Proficiency with CAD tools and mechanical design, including 3D modeling and detailed component and assembly drawings.
• Experience with FEA analysis and simulation to support mechanical design decisions.
• Background in design for manufacturing (DFM) and design for assembly (DFA) for production-scale products.
• Experience working with sheet metal, engineered plastics, and insulation materials in product design.
• Familiarity with PLM systems and structured engineering documentation practices.
• Knowledge of relevant regulatory and certification requirements for mechanical and refrigeration products.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively in cross-functional project teams.
• Demonstrated experience working in a fast-paced product development environment, managing tasks and deadlines effectively.

• Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field is preferred.
• Experience with advanced thermal systems and refrigeration technologies.
• Exposure to data acquisition systems and automated test setups for product validation.
• Experience supporting global manufacturing operations and product platforms.
• Background in continuous improvement methodologies applied to product design and performance.
• Ability to influence innovative product concepts and contribute to long-term technology roadmaps.

The role is based in an office and engineering laboratory environment, combining design work with hands-on interaction with prototype and production refrigeration equipment. You will collaborate daily with multidisciplinary engineering teams, including controls, electrical, manufacturing, and quality, in a dynamic and fast-paced product development setting. The position supports global manufacturing operations and product platforms, and may require up to 10% domestic travel to other facilities or customer sites as needed.
